Just bought my first 1911 this past weekend, a Colt Defender 45 ACP. It has the 3" barrel. Have not shot it yet and am aware of the potential issues with the under 4" length 1911s. Just wanted to see what other Colt Defender owners thought of theirs. And, any upgrades you have made. I happen to like the Hogue grips that came on it - both the look and fee. I've seen where many Defender owners replace the Hogue grips with something slimmer, but I have large hands so no problem I'm aware of not having shot it yet.
Thanks.
P.S. Just registered for THR tonight. Been enjoying it for quite a while.
